Aircleaners!

[LMDGUY]

Ok guys and gals , let see your aircleaners! I wana do a aircleaner like Dale Jr's car that pulls cold air from the cowl. DSE has some really detailed pics on ther website. Just wondering if anybody else has done or built a unit like this? Let see them.

Here's a page from the Lefthander catalog with a fiberglass or carbon airbox that's kinda cool...

lol.... The only guy I know to spell his own name wrong while sober.

lol.... I think it's the Beastie Boys getting to your head again is all.

I'd post pics of my air cleaner setup, but it's not on the car at the moment. I guess I could take pics of it anyway though. But that means I gotta find the cable for my camera to be able to upload them. Too much work at the moment...

Is that Darth Vader's other son?

One of my all time favorite cars just so happens to have one of my all time favorite air cleaners. The Hurricayne by Rad Rides. Sorry for lack of pics, on my way out the door but thought it was noteworthy..... Go to www.radrides.com or google

don't the big circles punched into that air cleaner (Dale's) kind of negate the whole cold air thing?

that is common thought.

67 Z28s had a similar option available. I do no think they are repopped.

it doesn't look like it's functional...

It's not functional to pull in cool air from the cowl area, but is forced to use the hotter air from the engine bay.

I thought this one was very nice!

Jeff Trush 69 Camaro..worked for him.

It's very nice, but the shape of the DSE car’s assembly is more pleasant to the eye (at least mine). I guess because the one is a nice smooth curve versus a more abrupt flare out. Might just be me.

i guess you need to specify what function you want it to perform... ;)

This air cleaner looks really cool but it obviously is just for looks. I vaguely remember the guys at Campbell Auto Restoration made a reproduction of an original Camaro cowl induction air cleaner. I may be way off base. Maybe it was a real one they had laying around.
